Polk County Living Polk County Itemizer-Observer • January 25, 2017 9A ENGAGEMENTS MI TOWN Hernandez-Connor Last week’s wind and rain couldn’t dampen the enthu- siasm and energy at the Monmouth Senior Center’s open house on Thursday. Center Director Sue Teal welcomed everyone who at- ten d ed, g i v i n g sp eci al recognition to many folks who had worked very hard for several years to see their hopes and wishes fulfilled. Sue shared the names of people, foundations, organ- izations and especially the city of Monmouth, who contributed funds and hard work to make the dreams of the new addition become a reality. It truly does take a village – and persistence – to reach such a goal. If you’re new to MI Town, or haven’t been in the center recently, please come in for a visit. I’d like to thank Roth’s In- dependence for donating the cakes that were served. P ATTY T AYLOR D UTCHER Columnist — Even though we’ve bid a fond farewell to all the accu- mulated snow here in MI Town, we still have several more weeks of winter to en- dure before we can get out the seed catalogues and think about gardens and flowers and perhaps putting in a new deck or walkways through the back yard. We’ve finally put away all things Christmas and holi- day season, and have made some progress on donating items no longer needed or used. All those new year’s resolutions have become very old – very fast. The Furniture Upholstery All types: for homes, offices, equip- ment. Also, repairs, RV cushions, slipcovers, High Quality since 1966 Stephen weather is still too nasty and unpredictable to do many outdoor activities, such as hiking or taking long walks around town, and travel to a sunshine-drenched island isn’t a reality this year for many folks. There’s no Weather Fairy with a magic wand to get us through these January and February days, but thanks to MI Town’s libraries – getting lost in a good book is a great option. — For parents or baby sit- ters feeling homebound with wee ones, how about packing up the babies from infants to 2 and going to the Independence library on Tuesday afternoons at 2 for the Tiny Tots at 2 program.
